Hi,
FYI, still not fixed...
package version : base-files-3.9-3.tar.bz2
postinstall message :
running: D:\Cygwin\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile
/etc/postinstall/base-files-mketc.sh
cygwin warning:
MS-DOS style path detected: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
Preferred POSIX equivalent is: /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/etc
CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this
warning.
Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths:
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#using-pathnames
=> WINETC and WFILE should use forward slashes (\\ => /)
proposed change (thanks to Eric Blake) :
WINETC="$WINHOME/system32/drivers/etc"
...
WFILE="$WINETC/`expr substr "$mketc" 1 8`"
Regards,
Cyrille Lefevre
